The design team have all made pop up box cards today made using kits from The Paper Cut. This line of products lets you create fun, interactive cards without investing in pricey dies! These kits include all pre-cut cardstock, in all the pieces you need! Some of the kits available are the Pop Up Box, Triple Mini Window Card, Swingin' Z-Fold Card, Stair Step Card, Graduation Cap Card and even a Slider Card! I should also mention that some of these kits come in different sizes and colours!
I personally don't own any box card die sets. I don't make many interactive cards such as these, so investing the money just doesn't make sense. BUT, with that being said, if you've been on the fence on buying any of these die sets, I would suggest playing with one of The Paper Cut kits. This will give you some sort of an idea on how often you would be creating these specialty cards!
Anyway, enough chit chat! Let's have a look at what I made for you today!
I used the Square Pop Up Box Card kit in white. Assembling the box was as easy as adding two strips of Scor-Tape to tabs. The part that took the longest was trimming out all the patterned paper to adhere to the flaps. I used an older Lawn Fawn paper pack for that! I have to admit the dimension of the little scene is pretty awesome!
I used the adorable Happy Village Set (unfortunately, out of stock at the moment) and its co-ordinating dies. I love this set and get a lot of use out of it! I coloured everything up with my alcohol markers.
I used an extra house for the front flap of the card along with a sentiment from the Wavy Sayings Stamp set which was stamped onto one of the Simple Wavy Banner Dies.
This flattens completely and fits into a 6X6 square envelope. You would add your sentiment on the back of this card. I want to apologize for these photos. Like I said, I rarely make such dimensional cards so I'm used to flat lay photography :)
I hope you enjoyed my project for this hop!! You'll find the full blog hop list below!

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable village card, Laurie! So nicely designed and coloured! I wasn't familiar with The Paper Cut until this blog hop and I'm happy you mentioned the different types of pre-cut cards they offer - I had no idea!
